The most tragic outcome of the 2000 election debacle is that it added to a list of excuses that Generation Y already has on why they shouldn’t bother to vote. When you look at the hang-ups of young voters, the same answers constantly arise. The most popular reason to evade elections seems to be because none of the issues debated at election time affect the young voter. Another reason is because politicians don’t target young voters (outside of occasional appearances on MTV programs). However, I think there is a more evident reason: lack of education.
